The region-free Sony BDP-S1700 is the newest and most economical model from Sony's new lineup. This affordable player is equipped with plenty of features to keep you entertained and offers the basic convenience features that you've come to expect from a Sony product.

The BDP-S1700U is equipped with standard 1080p Full HD resolution and also features DVD up-conversion, which brings your non-HD DVDs up to the best video quality possible and supports an array of audio such as Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio and DTS-HD Master Audio. The frontal USB port with image, video and audio support makes it easy to plug in a portable storage device and enjoy your favorite media right on your TV in Full HD format.

Other convenient features include a quick-start mode that decreases the loading time for Blu-ray discs, support for a wide range of video formats including AVCHD, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, Motion JPEG, WMV9, and XVID, plus HDMI output for the clearest audio/video experience possible.

It's no doubt that the BDP-S1700U is quite a deal, but don't forget that our models are all region-free and capable of even more. This unit features worldwide voltage (110 - 240 volts), allowing it to be used anywhere in the world without the need for a voltage converter, saving you both time and money. It also plays all regions of Blu-ray and DVD discs, and features internal PAL to NTSC conversion, eliminating the need for video converters and making it possible to playe DVDs and Blu-ray discs from any region in the world, without issue. You can literally take this player anywhere in the world, plug it into any TV and play a disc from anywhere in the world. If that's not flexibility, we're not sure what is.
